We met this Client through our partnership with Houzz, an online directory designed to match homeowners with experienced and rated industry professionals. They were looking to add that little bit of extra space to their recently purchased three storey mid-terraced property. With only a very moderate garden to play with, a thoughtful yet thorough design would be required to negate any negative impact the development may otherwise have, both on their property and those nearby.
Our Client was keen for a modern aesthetic, following that of the host dwelling, and wished for the works to avoid generating conflict with the existing First-Floor windows. A flat roof construction was therefore selected, further helping to maximise internal ceiling height and reduce the overall massing of the extension. Full-height and full-width bi-fold doors were introduced, along with two large roof lanterns to create an open and airy space.
To fully consolidate the design of the scheme, a natural loose-lay timber decking system was selected for use within the remaining garden area, allowing for easy removal should this space to be required for parking, a consideration that was had throughout the development of the initial proposal schemes.
I have worked with quite a few architectural practices over the years, I can honestly say SRA are in the top draw category of design companies. Their designs and drawings are of a really high standard. They are thorough and methodical. Their specifications leave little to doubt which means you can precisely quote for what you are being asked to build. […] Plus they are nice people, professional and easy to work for.
Highly recommend, Niell at SRA fully appreciated the need to balance the history of the house, conservation area requirements and modern living in the design for our renovation and extension requirements.
In my opinion, the best Architectural services in Lincoln. SRA completed amendments to our planning application and incorporated the redesign of 8 houses. The application was immediately approved which has avoided costly delays. The new house design has added value to the project and will provide much better use of the space. SRA have my highest recommendation for projects both large and small.
It is wonderful to see such an excellent facility completed and for it to be able to offer education and childcare to our community.
I found SRA Architecture online as I was looking at purchasing a property and needed input from an Architectural Practice who knows the area. I came across these guys and I was very impressed with the amount of knowledge they had. Neill is very much approachable and goes out of his way to find out all the information, and this in turn gave me the confidence of whether to make the purchase or not – I highly recommend them.
SRA have designed new houses and building alterations on a number of projects we have tendered for and worked on over the past 20 years or so. Their plans and specifications are consistently clear and thorough and the architectural work in the construction phase has been excellent. I have found them to be one of the leading practices we have worked with throughout this time.
